Southampton vs Arsenal, Sunday, 2pm

Pepe LeFrits

I feel this will be a difficult game for us and one we'll probably drop points in.

We're bound to drop some points any time soon. Hopefully we can find a way to grind out the win again.

We need someone to have a good day in front of the goal.

We could definitely use a bit of magic from Jesus.

Feels like a draw unless Jesus ticks (back) up a level.

goon

Southampton suit us. Comfortable win.

Fucking hate this fixture. We'll grind it out though.

points dropped here I reckon. i get the sense that the law of averages is going to ding us a few times in the next couple of games

Will be tough this game, you can sense the players are getting a bit tired. If we can get through this one we can at least rotate more heavily in Europe.

Sicario

Southampton are shit. No excuses not to win this.

I am Arsenal Till I Die

Don't understand the pessimism.

They are utter garbage. And we're pretty much the best team in Europe on form. They played a game midweek too, so I don't even think that's a valid reason either.

We may have had a poor record there in the past but Arteta has actually won two out of his three games at St. Mary's in the PL.

We won't even have to be at our best to beat them.

Usually optimistic but can't underestimate how this fixture has been consistently shit for us.

Clrnc

We will win, comfortably

We are clearly the second best team in the league. It’s hard to think of too many lower half teams that on paper should give us tactical trouble. We should beat these guys.

One of the things that gives me comfort is how we are able to play a mixed squad against a team like PSV and operate at first gear, stick to our principles and still be very comfortable. Shows me we have a good system in place.

We are clearly the best team in the league. We struggle here in general, the last 5 games here have been better then what we used to do before, 2 wins 2 L's and 1 draw. Can still remember them going on that insane strech of losing under Koeman, something like 10 games, 9 games lost one draw and then smashed us 4-0.....
But times have changed and I think we will do them.

lorddulaarsenal

I think we’ll have enough about us.

Rohit

On one of these matchdays Jesus is going to score a worldie.

KingslandBarge

Need the win here. These league rounds are quite favourable to our charge so have to try and capitalise. I can see three of our rivals potentially dropping points.

Big loss for Saints with Walker-Peters.

We might have dipped a bit performance-wise lately but Southampton are pony. 0-1.

We've been struggling the last couple of matches rode our luck or against PSV just looked totally out of ideas against a pretty average team. We've had 2 matches like that and managed to get away with it.

Arteta has to address that we've had the warnings and you can't just let them go without trying to address them.
